Steven_W Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I have been approached by a new supplier called Accura Systems Limited. I have spoken with the director as he has promised me some excellent prices on kit. Being as I don't know much about the company other than they have a website and a phone number plus social media outlets I did a bit of research as I have several installs coming up and need to spend a fair chunk so I need to be careful. I looked him up on companies house and the director is only 20 or so years old. I looked at the company registered address and where he trades from... on google maps it just shows a residential road. Now the feller said to me he sells pallets of DVRs to Adidas... a big customer by anyone's account! If so, I wondered how he kept it all in his ware house in his 3 bed semi! He may of course be genuine and just a young feller being competitive, so has anyone done any business with him? Lately I'm using MIE CCTV as my supplier as they are super competitive, but I'll try a new supplier if they can deliver as promised... What do you think? Quote

Steven_W Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Haven't got that far into it... trust is something that is built up, I guess I'll have to look into it! I think I'll drop him an e-mail and ask for references from other companies to make sure he's legit... I mean it works both ways so he could ask for my references! Quote

Steven_W Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Yeah that's the guy, I checked him out on linkedin too earlier.. He's only about 20 and obviously trying to make a mark for himself... he could be totally OK but I can't risk forking out 2k for materials to either get knocked or get poor quality products. I might pay a bit more elsewhere but I can vouch for them. I'm hoping at least somebody in here has dealt with them! Quote

We have guys that are double the age that work for me. I have a strong passion for CCTV which is something a lot of the guys on this forum know. Thank you for the Kind words steven_w. It's hard being a director at 20 Years old as funnily enough we have trade guys that look's at me pondering. But they've tried our equipment with some calling our team up for advice and great no nonsense equipment. We have plenty of friends in this market and we offer 2 Years Warranty on our equipment along with 30 Days money back guarantee. We always strongly insist that we supply goods to Trade but not so much DIY. DIY customers get a service where we put them in touch with our trade installers - this way they get a kickback. Check out our corporate site, www.acurasystems.co.uk They are some of our retail clients. We won't list everyone as it can be sensitive especially when competitors are prying. We are open to that. Give me a call anytime, Ill be happy to have a chat even if you don't need anything We will also be sure to supply you with trade references so that we can provide you with assurance. P.s I'm the only young one here, But feel free to pick my brains over a telephone call! You'll be surprised! Have a good weekend. Jayson Kandiah Managing Director at Acura Systems Group.
